Hijab Style: Finding Your Hijab Colour

Every Muslimah knows how important hijabs are when it comes to composing the perfect outfit that prioritises modesty, comfort and style - and part of this is finding just the right hijab colour.

This can feel like a tricky task, even for the most fashion-forward ladies - but luckily for you, we’re here to help.

At AbayaButh, we stock a huge selection of hijab colours in fabrics like chiffon, jersey, modal, rayon and more. And this post will run you through all of these options, helping you to find your very own colourful hijab style for every season and occasion.

Classic monochromes tones

If you’re searching for versatile hijab colours, it’s always worth having a selection of monochrome white and black tones in stock. Effortlessly adaptable, these classic shades deliver elegance and style as part of a single-colour ensemble or alongside other colours.

Let’s take a closer look at your options:

White hijabs: pure and elegant

White coloured hijabs are a must-have for every Muslimah’s modest wardrobe. Evoking a sense of purity, elegance and timeless style, you can really make a style statement with white.

As a neutral shade, white goes with anything, providing either a sharp contrast with a black abaya or blending beautifully with another light shade - the styling is up to you. But just like any other colour, you can choose from various subtle white shades:

• Pure white
• Off white
• Ivory
• Bridal white
• Winter white

Black hijabs: endlessly versatile

At AbayaButh, we know that black hijabs are modest wear classics and the backbone of many of Muslimahs’ wardrobes thanks to their evergreen appeal. So, it pays to stock up on some fresh black hijab styles and we have a range of fabric options in stock to give your modest wardrobe extra versatility for different occasions:

• Jersey
• Chiffon
• Georgette
• Modal
• Rayon viscose
• Satin chiffon

Soft, neutral hues

If your modest look is all about understated style, we have you covered with our various neutral hijab colours.

Delivering a chic, elegant finish in every shade, neutral hijab colours have become a go-to choice in modern modest fashion, as they can seamlessly transition from contemporary outfits to traditional ones.

Pair neutral hues with a classic white or black abaya for special occasions, or layer your hijab with a high-collar blouse and floaty kimono over jeans for a masterclass in on-trend modest fashion.

Grey: cool and chic

For an alternative to white and black that still boasts exceptional versatility, grey is the way to go.

From pale icy grey to dark charcoal (and everything in between), we have grey hijab colour options in all kinds of materials to go with almost any other colour in your wardrobe - giving you a subtle and stylish finished look in no time.

Take your pick of the following shades:

• Sky grey
• Icy grey
• Dusky grey
• Charcoal
• Pearl grey
• Pewter

Cream and nude: naturally beautiful

Keep your modest look simple and elegant with soothing cream and nude shades.

For an understated everyday look, nude jersey and rayon hijabs give you comfort and modesty in one fell swoop. At the other end of the scale, our luxury georgette and chiffon coloured hijabs will create a sophisticated, high-end vibe.

Taupe: trusty tones

With undertones of brown and grey, taupe hijabs come in various shades that bring styling flexibility, pairing well with dark and light base layers. From white abayas to grey and black farashas, keeping some trusty taupe and similar hijab colours in your wardrobe will give you styling options galore.

Available in georgette, jersey and chiffon, our taupe-based hijab colours include:

• Light taupe
• Smokey taupe
• Natural taupe

Brown: earthy hues

If you want a dark, grounding shade to complete your modest look but don’t want black, one of our brown hijabs could be the perfect choice.

For a dramatic look, pair brown and similar hijab colours with black or navy abayas, or combine them with other pale neutrals for an elegant, warm look.

From golden browns to rich coffee hues, here’s a sneak peek at some of our top brown tones:

• Amber brown
• Caramel latte
• Dutch cocoa
• Mocha
• Hazelnut
• Autumn tan

Beautiful bold tones

Modest fashion isn’t just about classic and soothing hues. There’s also plenty of room for bold, dramatic shades - and your hijab offers the ideal opportunity to introduce them to your personal look.

From bright blues to deep berry hues, you’ll find bold hijab colours in chiffon, georgette, rayon and more.

Blue hijabs: calm and in control

Blue is a colour that opens a world of possibilities. Communicating a sense of calm and authority, blue hues can be a smart choice for feeling in control at work and at home.

Whether you want to pair a pale blue hijab with pink lipstick or go for a classic, deep navy, these hijab colours are a staple of every modest wardrobe as they pair effortlessly with pretty much anything.

With a broad spectrum of shades available in our range, you can find blue hijabs in:

• Bluebell
• Sky blue
• Navy
• Cobolt

Red hijabs: fierce and fiery

If you're on the lookout for a show-stopping hijab style for this year, consider going for a shade of red. From paler terracotta shades to deep scarlets, choose a red that best reflects your personal style.

We love the look of deeper, almost purple berry shades for an attention-grabbing evening look, while warm terracotta or copper tones are the ideal option for a girls’ lunch date.

Some hijab colours to explore include:

• Maroon
• Cranberry
• Deep plum
• Copper
• Redwood
• Deep mahogany
• Terracotta

Green hijabs: fresh and natural

Evoking a connection to nature and a sense of revitalisation, green has become a popular hijab colour in recent years. Effortlessly elegant, green is a gorgeous shade suitable for both everyday wear and elegant evenings alike.

To help you pull off a fresh look using green, we have options galore, including:

• Sage green
• Olive green
